Key Features
Precision Engineering
- **Cold Hammer-Forged Barrel:** The 22-inch cold hammer-forged barrel ensures exceptional bore consistency, contributing to sustained accuracy and extended service life. The manufacturing process stress-relieves the steel, mitigating thermal shift and optimizing ballistic performance.
- **Robust Bolt Action:** Features Weatherby’s proven two-lug fluted bolt action, designed for smooth, reliable cycling and secure lock-up. The integral recoil lug enhances receiver stability, directly translating to improved shot-to-shot consistency.
- **Performance Guarantee:** Backed by the manufacturer’s SUB-MOA guarantee, ensuring a repeatable three-shot group of .99-inch or less at 100 yards with premium ammunition.
Construction and Durability
- **Durable Synthetic Stock:** The rifle integrates a high-strength synthetic stock, engineered to withstand harsh environmental conditions without compromising structural integrity or shooter interface. Its design facilitates secure handling in adverse weather.
- **Protective Finish:** Metal components feature a matte finish, providing a non-reflective surface that enhances corrosion resistance and reduces visual signature, critical for field utility.
Operational Control and Interface
- **Adjustable Trigger:** Equipped with a match-quality, user-adjustable trigger mechanism. This allows for precise tuning of pull weight, facilitating a crisp, predictable break essential for mitigating shot displacement.
- **Three-Position Safety:** The integrated three-position safety provides operational security, allowing the bolt to be cycled for unloading while maintaining a safe trigger condition.
- **Optics Ready Receiver:** The receiver is factory drilled and tapped, enabling direct and secure mounting of preferred optical systems to optimize target acquisition and engagement range.
